You’ve seen in Google SERPs, how, when you’re logged in, there is a place to promote or remove a particular SERP. It’s the X or the arrow up graphic we talked about a few months back.
What the search engines need to add is the ability to completely remove certain sites from my personalized search results. Right now, when I nuke a SERP with Google’s “Hot or Not” button, it has no effect on future similar searches.
As a user, there are some sites that I just never want to see (for example: twitter, experts-exchange.com, and pdf-search-engine.com). Yes, I understand that as a power user, i can do things like -site:twitter.com; but I don’t want to screw with that for every query.
Plus, it would be helpful for parents. Let’s say we don’t want our kids to see certain sites in the SERPS. Again, I understand there are services like NetNanny, but I don’t even want the site to appear in the SERPs.
The solution is simple and obvious: Google should add a third button in the shape of a mushroom cloud to the SERPs that let’s users Nuke the entire site for personalized search.
PS: I just noticed that Google Chrome is not working with the Javascript elements of my wordpress installation. Sigh.

Yep, quite a good idea!
I hope Google will see your post.
I completely agree. Google should have a filter for the search engine? I’m sure Google chrome will update the JavaScript error mentioned above in the next version.
I’ve created this tutorial for people to learn how to remove sites from search results: How to remove an entire domain from Google results.
